Word War is a new word game that pits you against the computer or a friend. The gameplay involves going back and forth against your opponent trying to out-spell or trap them.

The computer has three levels to play against - ranging from an easy version with a limited vocabulary whom you can easily out spell to a version with an almost perfect vocabulary against whom you must trap.

Word War tracks the words that you use in game. If you think you've used a long word, tweet it to the world using the built in Twitter feature.

Play today to discover new words and improve your vocabulary!
